NIGHT LIGHT

NIGHT LIGHT

Roger A. Davis

Keeps you from going bump in the night
Or to prevent a scaredy-cat from getting uptight
A comfort zone, I think we all would agree
Exception: Pitch black, no light, they want to see

After dark, city lights are a treat
If heading home, they are there to greet
A lighthouse protecting rocky shores
And warning signals, trouble if one ignores

One sight I like is the crescent moon stage
A dislike, a forest fire’s burning rage
Unless the logs are in a fireplace
Then it earns a ‘Happy Face’

Humans are like moths in part
Drawn to lights like a horse, carrot and cart
Some say that is why we ventured into space
Conquering visits to the moon’s face

Creatures of light is our destiny
After death, we will see
If this biblical truth is real
A place with no night is the promised deal
